The Phonograph's Salutation (1888)
The introduction is by someone trained in the new medium of the phonograph. The salutation by Gladstone starts out as totally unintelligible, as is understandable by a politician not familiar with the phonograph. But: near the last part, we hear Gladstone clearly if listened to closely, and a clear enough record of the voice of one of Great Britain's more famous Prime Ministers, and well worth the listen for historians interested in this period.

Who's who?
Another very low, and of course, high static recording of 2 speakers, Colonel Goroud starts off by fawning over how great Edison and his phonograph is, then either passes the mike, or is switched over to a recording of the Prime Minister, the sound is INCREDIBLY low, and I have no idea what he is saying!!!!
